Lucam 3
1 Anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Cæsaris, procurante Pontio Pilato Iudæam, tetrarcha autem Galiææ Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Iturææ, et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinæ tetrarcha,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 sub principibus sacerdotum Anna, et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zachariæ filium, in deserto.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of YHWH came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis, prædicans baptismum pœnitentiæ in remissionem peccatorum,
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 sicut scriptum est in Libro sermonum Isaiæ prophetæ: Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini: rectas facite semitas eius:
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of YHWH, make his paths straight.
5 omnis vallis implebitur: et omnis mons, et collis humiliabitur: et erunt prava in directa: et aspera in vias planas:
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of YHWH.
7 Dicebat ergo ad turbas quæ exibant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: Genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Facite ergo fructus dignos pœnitentiæ, et ne cœperitis dicere: Patrem habemus Abraham. Dico enim vobis quia potens est Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahæ.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That YHWH is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Et interrogabant eum turbæ, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat.
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: Magister, quid faciemus?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Interrogabant autem eum et milites, dicentes: Quid faciemus et nos? Et ait illis: Neminem concutiatis, neque calumniam faciatis: et contenti estote stipendiis vestris.
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus:
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Messiah, or not;
16 respondit Ioannes, dicens omnibus: Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos: veniet autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corigiam calceamentorum eius: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu sancto, et igni:
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
17 cuius ventilabrum in manu eius, et purgabit aream suam, et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igni inextinguibili.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Multa quidem, et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui, et de omnibus malis, quæ fecit Herodes,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 adiecit et hoc super omnia, et inclusit Ioannem in carcere.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato, et orante, apertum est cælum:
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Yahushua also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 et descendit Spiritus sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum: et vox de cælo facta est: Tu es filius meus dilectus, in te complacui mihi.
And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
